When I find my bike I will tell Mama to make a thousand loaves of Zaatar bread I will distribute the bread everywhere. And People around the world will exclaim “ Wowwww! Mama bakes the most delicious bread in the world!”

In a city surrounded by walls on all sides, a Palestinian boy searches for his lost bicycle on the other side of those walls. His journey becomes a message of peace, spreading the scent of his mother's delicious Za'atar bread among people worldwide. The story is crafted in a way that all children, regardless of their background, can empathize with the Palestinian issue. Inspired by a real event, "If I Find My Bike" tells the tale of Palestinian children who, during an attack on Gaza hospitals, attempted to generate electricity using bicycles to save lives. The hero of this story, aided by the same flying bicycle, rescues the city from shadows and guides his family and friends back to their real homes.
